Synopsis

Two Ghibli created shorts about the happenings in a fictional animation studio, presumably based to some extent on their own.

Audience Consensus

Ghiblies is a lighthearted and enjoyable short that offers a glimpse into the workings of Studio Ghibli. While the story is minimal and some find the plot disjointed, the animation and humor are generally well-received. It's particularly appreciated by Ghibli fans and those interested in animation, though its simplicity may not appeal to all adult viewers.
